JACOB PHILLIPSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

COMBINATION COAT AND VEST.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr... 13, 1915.

Application filed December 1, 1913. Serial No. 803,965.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAooB PHILLIrsoN, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, County of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Coats and Vests, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to garments of the type comprising a combination coat and vest, and the main objects of this invention are to provide a garment of this character having a large pocket on the inner side of a coat flap and having the adjacent vest flap so arranged and attached to the coat flap as to enable ready access to the pocket; and more particularly to provide a combination waiters jacket and vest having in the outer part a wide inner pocket extending back of the adjacent vest flap on one side of the garment and adapted for carrying a book or the like.

An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which different views of the right hand side of the garment only are shown, it being understood that the opposite side may or may not be made in like manner, and in which Figure 1 is a view of the inner side of a coat or jacket embodying this invention and showing the vest flap which is attached thereto turned away from the coat flap. Fig. 2 is a similar view, but showing the vest flap disposed outwardly against the in ner side of the coat flap.

In the construction shown, the garment is in the form of a waiters combination jacket and vest and comprises a waiters jacket 1 with the usual front flaps 2, and having attached to the inner side of each flap a vest flap 3. A large and extra wide inside pocket 4; is provided in the lower par of either or both jacket flaps, part of the pocket being disposed in front of the seam or other fastening at the line of juncture connecting the vest flap, and part to the rear thereof. A small pocket 5 of ordinary structure and arrangement is provided on the outside of each vest flap. Buttons 6 are provided on one of the vest flaps for holding the vest flaps together when the garment is worn. The seam which attaches the vest flap 3 to the jacket flap 2 extends only along the upper and lower portions of the vertically disposed rear edge of the vest flap, the intermediate portion 7 extending past and considerably above the pocket opening being free and unattached so as to enable the wearer to have ready access to the back portion of the large pocket 4 when the garment is worn and when the vest is buttoned. This open space at the point 7 extends between the points 8 indieated on the drawings, and extends mainly above the pocket opening. By this construction the wearer is enabled to use said pocket 4 for carrying a large sized check book or order cards, for instance, such as are sometimes used byjwaiters, or for other like purposes requiring a pocket larger than can be disposed wholly in front of the juncture line of the coat and vest flaps.

Although but one specific embodiment and use of this invention is herein shown and described, it will be understood that there may be many other uses and that some of the details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of this invention as defined by the following claim.

I claim:

In a device of the class described, a coat flap in combination with a vest flap attached thereto at points spaced apart on its rear edge, said coat flap having an inner pocket, part of which is disposed in front of the rear edge of the vest flap and part to the rear thereof and with its opening between said points, the space between said points of attachment being open and adapted to facilitate access to the rear portion of said pocket when the garment is worn.

Signed at Chicago this 28th day of November, 1913.
